The next button can be indeed replaced by a submit button, but it will not serve as a next button anymore. We may find a workaround on this, but may you please provide us more details about what you would like to achieve?

We will be happy to assist.

Looking forward to your response.

Thank you for the additional details.

I think this can be possible with some conditions, here are the steps that I think may help you:

1. Add a submit button right before the current page break buttons on the first page, you will be showing up this submit button to the user instead of the next one:

2. You will need to add the get form page URL widget to the form in order to know when the user is filling out the form and when you're editing the submission.

4. Finally, you need to add a field that will work to trigger a notification to let the submitter know that you already reviewed their submission, this field should be hidden and it will only be visible to you when you're editing the submission:

Now, when the users open the edit link they will be able to move through the form pages without any problem, but on the first submission when they are initially filling out the form they will only be able to fill the first page and submit the form.

The user will fill out the first page and will click on the next button which is actually a submit button, that will actually submit the form and you will receive the notification to review the information filled out. Then when the users receive the edit link of their submission they will see on the first page the page break as the submit button will be hidden.

To better understand, please fill out my testing form and see how the submission is sent, on the thank you page you will see the edit link which is the same your users will be getting when you approve the submission filling the hidden field, see how on the edit link the submit button on the first page is replaced with the page break and the user can move to the second page.

This will give you the ability to review the calculations before the user.

Now, it's not possible to have both functionalities on the same button, it must be either page break or submit, but it cannot be both.

A workaround is to keep the form with the suggested configuration above and just change the thank you page redirecting to this URL: https://jotform.com/edit/{id}
